THE BLOG
Hi All, I have been amazingly busy of late. I know it’s time for a state of the family address. I just realized it’s been over a year since the last one, and my pairs and pairs of readers must surely be waiting on pins and needles, (I see you Lori and Jeff and it’s...
I don’t know Gab, but boy did she rock this post. I have never had a better explanation of this facet of my religion. Thank you Gab.
I must admit, I got a little tear-y at the end because I was so dang proud of the post she’d done, and a little “why didn’t I think of that?!?” I’m glad if I can’t be so dang witty, that someone is. Now someone call CNN.
Over Heard While Making Lunches: “How do you want your sandwich cut?” “Di-angle-ily.” “Really? Cause, I hate it when my angles dangle.”
Really? ‘Cause I just love lettin’ the ole angles a-dangle!
Why does that image get me a little … warm? Sumpin about the word “dangle?”
I’m currently procrastinating getting ready for work, [insert shock here], so I thought I’d follow up yesterday’s post with things I have tried to rectified my current “ball dropping” situation. 1. Run around waving my arms in a clockwise direction 2. Ate cookies for breakfast 3. Blogged 4. Emptied out the entire Tupperware cabinet and...
Careful there. With such proactive steps, I may have to recruit you to come work with me in state government.
Okay, here’s my professional opinion…STOP with the new projects (like the tupperware cabinet) and work on the things you’ve already started. Work would maybe be a good idea. But it’s all relative.
haha Sounds just like my day!
I love that you posted this. Seriously. Makes us all go, “Yup! Been there!” and then we can laugh over wine. Oh wait, also, have a glass of wine. 😉
go procrastination! And I agree with Rachel… Finish your preexisting list before you start heaping more on there…
Lets make it interesting! Forget about finishing things. Lets start organizing winter/spring/summer clothes and then stop just after you’ve got everything in piles…
I just stumbled into your blog via dooce and I’m loving it! arms flying around in a clockwise motion…that’s great. Good stuff!!
I am currently dropping the ball in my life. The following is a list of things currently wrong at DRY Ink headquarters, (divided into categories for your viewing pleasure): Missing: 2 library books a 1st grade reader 1 ballet leg warmer 1 camouflaged belt 1 orange little league bat Behind on: uploading files for work...
Honey, give yourself a freaking break. You keep all your own balls in the air, plus everyone else’s. You’re bound to drop one from time to time. Contrary to popular belief, you’re only human. It’s OKAY!!!
P.S. No dirty jokes about balls in the air allowed.
I feel your pain, Eirka, it’s the same story around here.
Jeez Rachel, you take all the fun out of life! *wink*
…balls in the air…hehehe
As long as you’re not ‘dropping balls’ as in growing some I think you’re okay. While we’re on the subject of dropping- where do YOU need to drop 5 lbs? I mean really! I do not look like you do and I’ve only had 1 kid! As for losing stuff around the house, I am convinced that every house has a black hole- either that or little people who come out at night and steal stuff but that’s creepy. Either way, like Rachel said- you’re only human (except for that decorating-goddess blood that is running through your veins) so take it easy on yourself. Love the mudroom by the way. I can tell that it makes excellent mud.
I do the stress in the shoulders thing too. It’s a bitch. Also the unexplainable breakouts. Grr.
Y’all are all too sweet, thanks, and welcome Leaf nice to hear from a sister in stress.
Surely your parents dropped the ball on that one. (Blaming the parents always makes me feel better.) They knew about that shit because well…they had you already so they should know. They definitely should have warned you. Watching the crazy exploits of my family was plenty of warning for me. So I live in blessed singlehoodnesship.
